2.1 mv power loss

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   well after a while of niggling problems the van 
is now buggered. to cut a very very long story short. i have been having
 a flicker in the rev counter for a while no other issues really. 
started after a very wet drive and major missfire. missfire cured but 
flicker was occasional. last but one trip at about 150 miles out it just
 lost power. flat out at 40 mph in 3rd. it then cleared and run like a 
train for the rest of the trip, 250 miles. last trip 400 miles no 
problems atall.

last weekend cut out started after a while "seemed flooded" but had major loss of power.

i`ve changed plugs, leads, cap and arm, coil, distributor afm and ecu. 
cleaned all the connections and the earths and the oxy sensor is working
 fine at idle.

convinced the coil is being fired too often causing the rpm flick.

tdi conversion is nearly ready to go in but i would like to sort this before i pull it out.

answers on a post card to my hair is well and truly pulled out.

cheers lee.

	I'm sure you've thought of this Lee, but could it be 'vanagon syndrome'?

	Dunno then . Fuel delivery? Crud in fuel filter? I had an intermittent power loss problem with my 1.9 tdi pd A4 recently with no obvious cause and no fault codes logged. In the end a new fuel filter and a bit of injector cleaner sorted it...

	you say it was after a wet drive- have you checked the fuel filler neck- water in fuel gives misfire/loss of power. good luck
